the only cannon with similar power to MG151/20 was AN/M2, while Shvak was fluctuating from bad to good (but still a bit worse), and Ta could survive a hit or 2 with no drama.
This meant Spit Mk IX LF had like 10% chance to win a head on, so they dodged.
Also this made Yak-3U nowhere near as powerfull as it is right now.
Back when in some matches I was THE ONLY fighter on my 6-man team, it was still so much more fun to play.
Currently everything 1-shots and Yak-3U, Re.2005 VDm and Spit Mk IX LF just clown on you.
Damn, I’m playing Do-335B2. It weights around 8,5-9 tons. Just lost my entire wing to a SINGLE 20mm Hispano HE shell.
So yeah, everything is paper, Ta is big, doesn’t climb and is badly armed. GG.
